TITLE		Convert fields

OCCURRENCE	ARB_NT/Species Information/Fields/Convert fields

DESCRIPTION     This allows you to convert the type of a species sub-field:

                  - Select the field to convert from the list.
                  - Select the type you want to convert the field into.
                  - Press 'CONVERT'.

                The function will fail, if the conversion would discard data, e.g. if
                you try to convert 'Ascii Text' into 'Numerical' and the field contains "755 nucs".

                Exceptions from this rule:

                      - Spaces, TABs and LFs at start/end of content will be removed silently when
                        converting to 'Numerical' or 'Rounded numerical'
                      - Conversion from 'Numerical' to 'Rounded numerical' will perform rounding. The
                        number of rounded data fields will be printed into the message box.

NOTES		Conversion to types 'Link' and 'MASK' is not implemented yet.
